79020, oil in intake mani & jeep tb problem..........
Posted by silvereclipse30, Aug-13-04 04:51 PM
While puttin the jeep tb on I notice a nice amount of oil in the intake mani.....is that normal or is my engine a POS??? runs perfect and VERY strong......

Now the stocker has the lil nipple on the top of it........what do u do with that line??? I've been told a few things....tap it into another line or plug it..... what is the right thing to do??

and while I'm at it.....I just install an tsudo N1 and the piping over the rear section keeps banging up against the bottom of the trunk....I had a hanger added but it really didn't help....I was hopin it would pull it over a lil but NO..... Any Ideas fellow 2gnters???

whens the last time you had your intake mani off? if you've never had it off before then that's perfectly normal to have a shit load of oily residue in there. i just sprayed mad brake cleaner in there and swirled it around in there and that did it for me.

and about the exhaust, mine does that sometimes too. no biggy.

That line that originally went to the top of the TB - that is for the EVAP system. You'll want to hook that back up to somewhere on the manifold.

Tee it off of another vacuum line, just like I told you earlier. And shop rags do wonders to eliminate exhaust rattles, ask GorkoRacing.

you best bet would be to put back your stock tb and sell me that one.
